Transatlantic Cruises

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of Earth’s Oceanic divisions, right after The Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean is also the second youngest Ocean on the planet as it is understood to have formed when the Pangaea separation occurred over 130 millions years ago. What we now recognize as the current continents were once all attached (known as the super continent or Pangaea) then gradually drifted apart by seafloor spreading, forming the massive Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean is broken up into two main parts – North Atlantic Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean. Sailing across the North Atlantic would take you to England, Ireland as well as maritime Canada. Imagine a cruise where you can visit Scotland, experience the hot springs and vast fields of cooled lava in Iceland, enjoy a delicious lobster lunch in Nova Scotia and lay on the sunny beaches of Key West, Florida - all in a single cruise!

Or you can try a different slice of Atlantic life such as starting in the Mediterranean by sailing off from Spain. You start off in Barcelona then sail down to Malaga, through the Gibraltar Strait and over to Funchal, the capital of Portugal’s Madeira Islands. Then to Tenerife & Lanzarote on Spain’s Canary Islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, all the way over to Philipsburg in St. Maarten or the British Virgin Islands. The options don’t end there –try your hand at setting sail from Rome, Italy down to Agadir and Casablanca, in Morocco and ending it all off in Miami, Florida!
